Reminder: Open Studios Tour Starts in 2 Weeks

Posted on by

I’m very excited to be participating in the Open Studios Tour in Grass Valley this year, and you are all invited!

The dates are October 13-14 and 20-21. We will be at Mindy Oberne’s Twin Star Gallery of ceramics and photography which is Studio #10 on the map. There are 2 other artists sharing the space whose work I think you’ll want to see, so here’s info about them and some images of their work.

Here is a slideshow of some of my art

If you wish to be on my email list for upcoming events, sales, and classes, please go to this link and fill out your information

Terry Shearn uses textiles, found materials, plant dyes, pine needles and metals to create pieces that are functional, wearable art, framed pieces and wall hangings. Her work is currently available at Camelot Gallery-Nevada City, CA, Riverside Gallery – Truckee, CA, and various art shows throughout the year. Website:

Since 1993, Mark Oldland has shown with and worked by commission with over 20 galleries and showrooms, and has exhibited in several museums throughout California.

New Art Journals and Purses!

Posted on by

Today I finally took photos and got some videos made of several new journals and purses that I have completed. These journals are quite complex and take around 22 or more hours to complete, so I likely will not be making more just like these.

Portrait of a Lady Journal

Lilac and Lace Journal

Pink Peony Journal

These purses are some that I shall be teaching at my upcoming art classes, both locally at Ben Franklin and in NH at the League of Craftsmen in October.  I shall also be teaching this journal: Ladies Diary Journal

 

Stay tuned for more details on these classes!

Memory Albums for Mom – Mother’s Day Gifts

Posted on by

Treasured Memories, photographs, meaningful moments

These beautiful mini albums from Fiber Fancies are such a lovely gift to honor the special women in your life. I love creating meaningful gifts for loved ones that they will treasure for years to come.  Each album is a one of a kind work of art that you can personalize for your gift recipient–or maybe you want to treat yourself to one to record all of your special moments!  Each album is made with fun and whimsical pretty pockets, papers, inserts, extra cards, and other surprises, which make the album perfect for customization. 

 

These mini albums are just gorgeous when given as is, but if you’d like to create a special memory album for Mom, here are some ideas:

♥ Pasting special photographs in the album, or on the backs of the special album inserts

♥ Journaling a few memories of Mum or the family, and leaving blank pages for her to add to it

♥ Jotting down special poems or quotes that remind you of her

♥ Writing down songs you remember her singing to you, or favorite books she may have read 

♥ Love letters or words of appreciation (you could even seal one in an envelope and tuck it in one of the album pockets as a surprise). Even more meaningful–have different family members (siblings, grandchildren, spouse) write surprise letters to tuck into the album for mom to find

♥ Include little mementos in the pockets if you wish. An event ticket from the past, pressed flowers, a special charm, and so forth

Let your imagination go wild, and have fun creating! Mum will be so pleased when you present a lovely memory album to her.

To see video of the albums so you can get a glimpse at the interior goodies, such as papers, tags and pockets, go to this page:
